LESLIE HOWARD MEMORABILIA SALE – FINAL OFFER

Hello there, And thanks for returning to my site.

As of February 1st we now have just 28 items of Leslie Howard memorabilia available and waiting to find their new homes. As stated before these were bought during the production and editing of my film Leslie Howard: The Man Who Gave a Damn and whilst not all of these made it into the final cut, the majority can be seen in the documentary as it stands.

I realise the timing of the initial sale (just before Christmas) wasn’t ideal for everyone – although quite a few items sold in the first week.

However I also know that many of you weren’t able to take advantage of this and, ofcourse, after New Year nobody really wants to shell out funds on anything but the essentials.

Throughout January I’ve been offering these on Ebay and as some of you may have seen prices on specific items have gradually dropped.

But for this final offer I wanted to make the sweetest of possible deals. to those of you who are interested…

If you select 2 or more items from this list and you will automatically get a 10% discount on the total price.

In addition, should you select £100 or more worth of items you’ll receive a free giant poster (normal cost £40)

If all 28 items were to sell at the current prices, the total value would be £534.72. However if any of you would like to buy the entire collection I’d be willing to accept £400.00 (that’s over 20% below the listed price) (+ you’ll still receive the free poster and a copy of Leslie Howard: On & Off Screen” if you desire it.)

So, whether you’re interested in purchasing just one or a number of the following, the time and the price could not be better. For information, please contact me direct, (quoting the image number)

My email is: thomas.hamilton65@btinternet.com

Please note that all items are sold as seen on a first come, first served basis. P&P for all items is £3.00 to the UK, £5.00 to Europe, £7.00 to US, JAPAN and AUSTRALIA. I will combine postage for multiple purchases.

I CAN ACCEPT PAYMENT BY PAYPAL or DIRECT PAYMENT into my account (PREFERRED) or in exceptional circumstances by Cheque. ALL ITEMS WILL BE SENT FULLY PROTECTED AND BY RECORDED DELIVERY (IF THIS IS AVAILABLE IN YOUR AREA)

Thank you for your attention
